Microsoft and Ed4All announced a partnership with the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to transform learning and empower students with digital skills. Through this partnership, they aim to reach over 170 million learners across the open schooling ecosystem, providing access to tools, experiences, and skills needed to be job-ready in a digital economy.
As part of this, they have launched a customized tech platform for the NIOS Virtual Open School, BLEAP® for NIOS, that provides learners with a personalized learning experience for improved learning outcomes. It brings together live classes and labs, recorded sessions, remote proctored exams and assessments along with skill-based courses and certifications to provide a holistic learning experience.
Students across the institute will also have access to digital courses on technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cyber security and data sciences among others.
Designed to create a better classroom experience that enables student success, the platform will provide easy-to-consume modules including live demos, hands-on workshops and assignments.
